There are many "Mommy Must-haves" when it comes to baby gear, and one of those is definitely a good quality diaper bag! When we first had Kaelyn, we had three different diaper bags that we used. They were all different sizes and we used each one for certain outings. As time went on, I remember thinking how nice it would be to have one diaper bag that met all of our needs. Something that wasn't too small, wasn't too big, would help me stay organized, and had some insulated compartments for bottles, sippy cups and food.
I wasn't sure I'd ever find a diaper bag that offered everything I was looking for, until I had the chance to review a Mrs. Smith's Diaper Bag from Whoda Thought! Mrs. Smith's Diaper Bag was created by Rachael Smith after she found herself boarding an airplane with her 2 year old son and 6 month old daughter, digging through the diaper bag for milk and toys and spilling as she did it. It was at that moment she realized there must be a way to create a diaper bag which is more organized and makes it easy for parents to get to what they need...and so Mrs. Smith's Diaper Bag was born.
We were sent the Brown Flower print diaper bag.
When it arrived and I opened the box, my first thought was...."This is exactly what I have been looking for!" It's a diaper bag that's not too big and not too small. As I checked it out, I could tell that the material was very good quality and that this was something that would be used for a very long time. I can't wait to use it with our baby when he/she arrives!
There are so many features and ways to use the bag that I absolutely love about this diaper bag, one being the fact that it can easily be converted from an over the shoulder bag to a backpack style diaper bag. This is something we have always wanted in a diaper bag, but never had. I think this option will be one we'll be very happy to have.
There is also a TON of storage. I couldn't believe all the stuff that could fit in this bag! Between the great organization drawer which pulls out at the bottom of the bag, all the space inside and all the side compartments....I don't think we'll ever need to have multiple diaper bags again! It's great! One would think that with a drawer at the bottom, there wouldn't be much space in the top compartment, but this isn't the case at all! There is a lot of storage space in it, and I appreciate the fact that it's not extremely deep like some diaper bags. It allows for easy organization and finding things will be a breeze!
It even comes with a full-sized changing pad which I think is something all of us need at one point or another and don't always have with us. I know this will come in very handy and be used often!
I could tell that this was a diaper bag created by a Mom. Thank you Mrs. Rachael Smith! It has all the bells and whistles that we Mom's look for in a diaper bag. It's functional, spacious, and stylish.They have many cute prints available. I really liked the Zebra print too.
In my opinion, a Mrs. Smith's Diaper Bag is definitely a Mommy Must-have. It would make a fantastic Christmas gift for any parent on your list this year!
